Busy sewing me

I've been busy the past few days making things like crazy. I made a new purse today. I just love this fabric, it makes me happy to look at it.

Swap apron

I made an apron tonight, this was my first one ever. It didn't take as long as I thought it would, it came out just as I imagined. I'm so excited, I hope my swap partner likes it. Now I'm off to bed, enough posting for today.

Williamson County Candles and Red Poppy Festival

I had a chance to finally make it to the Red Poppy Festival this year and didn't have enough time to fully see everything it had to offer. I went to see my candlemaker friend who was selling candles that day. I bought two new scents, Pipe Dreams and Warm Vanilla Sugar.

If you are on the search for the BEST candle I HIGHLY recommend these candles. I love love these candles. Did I mention that I LOVE them? I first discovered them at Cabbages and Kings when I bought an Iced Tea and Coconut Lime Verbena a couple years ago. I was blown away by how good they are and continued buying strictly these candles. I am on a few message boards and one day I find out that the girl who I buy candles from was part of the same board I frequent. I had no idea b/c her name is different then her business name. A friendship is born and we have gone to a candle conference before and stay in contact via email. She has become a friend to me and my favorite candle maker. I don't promote her candles just b/c she is my friend but b/c she is truly a wonderful candlemaker. She has been written up a couple local newspapers around town. Here is her website if you are interested in where to purchase her candles. If you do get some tell her Angelique sent ya. ;) http://www.williamsoncandles.com/

My roses

I tried to post pics this morning but like I mentioned before I couldn't get photoshop to open but it's all fixed now. It's great to have a computer savy husband. :) This is just one pic but when the other rose bush on the other side of my house blooms I'll take a pic.

Sunny Monday

What a beautiful day this has started off to be so far, the sun is out and it's a bit chilly but that won't last for long. I have a few crafts to finish up and get them mailed off to my swap partner this week. I am enjoying this swap, it is a letter "A" swap and I send my partner things that start with the letter A. I have some great things planned, I just need to put them in action. I'll post them once my swap partner get them in her hands. Today is a busy day.

I tried to post this earlier with some pictures but I couldn't get Photoshop to open so hubby has been scanning our computer for viruses. So far things are fine but he is doing so maintenance so I can't post some pictures I had wanted to.

A week ago

Last Saturday the 19th I took a class on fabric jewelry. The class was given by Jennifer Perkins who is the host of the DIY channels show Craft Lab. It is my favorite craft show and it is not on the air currently. I hope they bring it back soon, I am missing my daily doses of crafty shows. Jennifer teaches a couple different classes and the one I took was on fabric jewelry. I had so much fun and learned a lot. I had to get a picture of Jennifer and I, it made my week. To me I am more excited to meet craft celebrities than the ones on regular tv shows and movies. Crafting is so dear to my heart. Here are the pictures of the bracelet and rings and yo yo's we made in class and of course a pic of me and Jennifer.

Another day another purse

I made a new purse, I've had a dry spell and haven't made one in months. This one was a bit harder than most I have made in the past but it is all worth it. I really like the way it came out. I did not add a pocket like I normally do, I was just tired and wanted to be finished with it. lol I've been busy the past week with a sick kid and then I picked up the bug. I'm feeling better now and getting back to things.

Over and out for now.
